The mountpoint has to permit write operations if you're trying to
write to the root of the volume.  So unmount the volume, make sure the
/home/office directory has the appropriate permissions, then mount
the volume.  Note also that vfat volumes themselves do not have the
concept of permissions or ownership of files.
